The root of many diseases in the body lies in the "neck", so it's okay to rub it more!
The root of many diseases of the body lies in the neck, which is commonly known as the "neck", although it is the thinnest part of the body, it is the "lifeline" connecting the head and the torso.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the neck is healthy and well-being.
The neck connects our brain to our body, and there is a "hole" in it, including the cervical spine, trachea, esophagus, dense nerves, blood vessels, etc. When it comes to the neck, most people just think it makes people look beautiful and elegant, and it is rarely associated with health.
In fact, the "territory" of the neck includes the collarbone from the back of the head to the top of the shoulders.
First of all, the blood supply to the brain is inseparable from the neck. It is flanked by the carotid arteries and, together with the vertebral arteries, is responsible for blood supply to the brain. The carotid artery supplies more than 80% of the blood to the brain, and we can feel its beating about 5 centimeters on either side of the protrusion of the throat.
Secondly, the lymph in the neck is the body's immune defense. The neck is densely packed with lymph nodes and nerve trunks. Viruses and bacteria are most likely to invade the respiratory tract and oral cavity, and the first stop when infected lymphatic fluid returns is the neck, so the lymph nodes in the neck are also the body's first line of defense.
Again, the nerves in the neck regulate the whole body. The nerves emitted by the brain all pass through the neck and descend through the neck, and the nerves they contain can be said to have their own functions: 8 pairs of spinal nerves innervate the movement and sensation of the human body; 4. Regulate blood pressure, breathing and gastrointestinal peristalsis of cranial nerves; The sympathetic nervous system can make people's hearts beat faster, constrict blood vessels in the limbs, and make people sweat; Parasympathetic excitation slows and weakens a heartbeat.
Finally, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the neck is also the place where the meridians run through the whole body, including five important meridians, including the Du Meridian, the Bladder Meridian, the Small Intestine Meridian, the Bile Meridian and the Sanjiao Meridian. The acupuncture points such as Fengchi, Fengfu, and Dazhui acupoints on the back of the neck are the "key points" of health care.
